Welcome to 7th Grade Texas History!
I am so excited to be your Texas History teacher this year! This is my fourth year at Stiles, and my 16th year in LISD. To me, history isn't just memorizing dates and names. I love telling the stories of the past and understanding people's motivations. I hope I can transfer that love to you! Please email me if you ever have any questions or concerns.
